Once upon a time, there lived an exile named Krikhyn. Imprisoned at a convent and blamed for twenty-three years of snow. When she feels the hot breath of something monstrous against her bare skin in the hedge maze, a new … wrong want begins to burn inside her.
Her hunger for more of the beast, more of life, forces her onto the road through the Razorcliff Mountains. Who can she trust in a world of deals that bind? Torrien knows too much about her. Despite knowing how dangerous he is, he is all her body wants.
She left St. Ruyien an exile, what will she be when she reaches the other side of the Razorcliffs? Will she survive to claim her birthright?
Or just be payment on a debt.
